[Oled 20x4 Display Screen Installed - Looks Nice.]

Finished building the Xbox with the OLED installed. Managed to go in without an 'overcut' since I had a bit of patience for once and cut inside the lines, then used a file,

As promised a few pics (though the camera hated the brightness & blue colour, had to shine lighting on it)

Decided to do a Hotachi/LG flashed 8050L pc drive too for it since the dvd was capput as usual. Take ages to get the dvd tray sitting flush perfectly and all 6 case screws in too. Have to modify the dvd drive metal and plastic chassis to do that - a right chore.

It's running a nice original 200GB IDE Maxtor that was bought new for an xbox - so not been hammered.

Green lan led & blue 5mm hd led - both waterclear flat tops.

Cheers all.

Thanks! Will do, just fitted it now into the front panel after having the dreaded dremmel on the go (one slip and disaster) or is that just me

Hi folks,

Thought I'd share a pic of a nice Newhaven Display OLED which works nicely with the OpenXenium for me.

I just used the Arduino Pro Micro but not on the spi2par2019 board, since it's oled (no backlight etc), plus it's no use anyway since oled has a 20 pin varied connector that doesn't match obviously. You need to be careful setting the pins up.

It's using the same hd44780 parallel 6800 4-bit interface (not i2c) - I just set the oled using jumpers soldered on the back as per pdf. I added the initialisation code into the .ino and changed some of the hd44780 commands up as well. You also have to edit the liquidcrystal library too - bit of a faff, I'm no coder but managed in the end after a week.

You can get it on Mouser etc, different colours. Ugh it's £22.80 plus the vat though
